I recently aquired a hardcover book titled "The Men Who Advertise". It also is bound together with the "American Newspaper Rate Book" and "The American Newspaper Directory" in one volume. The publisher is George P. Rowell & Co. out of New York, and the date of publication is 1870. I'm looking for information on the possible value of this book. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bibliofind (www.bibliofind.com) currently lists a couple of editions of Rowell's The American Newspaper Directory from the 1870s in the $45 to $50 range. Since yours includes other titles as well, it might be safe to assume if may command a higher price.
